There's been some confusion on replying to messages and what happens after that, here's a short run down:

First you click on the "Go to first unread message" button or the thread name/link.

This will take you to the first message that you haven't read yet, whether that's the 1st, 10th, 34th, or the 102nd message (you get the point).

Read/unread messages are differentiated by the "New" image seen at the top right of all unread messages.

Lets say you want to quote a message in your reply:
  • Click the "Reply w/Quote" link
  • It'll take you to the editor at the bottom (and include this post in quote tags).
  • Enter your reply
  • Click "Post Reply"
Here's what it looks after you've replied to the thread.

When the system posts your message it adds the "You have more unread posts in this thread. Click to view them." bar and then below it it'll put your new message.

Clicking the " Click to view them" link will take you to the next unread message in this thread (if there are any).

The old system would always take you to the last page, after a reply, which means that you'd lose your position in that thread.
